About Vanessa Watson
I’m proud to be a dedicated professional at Vaughan Poe, LLC, where I serve as both the
paralegal and office manager. In addition to overseeing the daily operations of our firm, I am often the first point of contact for our clients, ensuring that their experience with us is as smooth and efficient as possible.
My career in law began in 2017 when I started as a receptionist for a criminal attorney. As I grew more interested in the legal field, I transitioned into the role of legal assistant, where I honed my skills and expanded my knowledge of legal processes. In 2020, I joined the Vaughan Poe team, continuing my journey in civil law, alongside Greg Vaughan and Cody Poe.
In my current role, I am committed to supporting both our clients and our legal team. As a mother to my son, Torien, born in 2023, I understand the importance of clear communication and timely updates. Whether you prefer phone calls, text messages, or emails, I will make sure you are always informed about the progress of your case.
